We fight, we strike, we live!
We fight, we strike, we live!
What exactly is care work? Very simple: wiping bums, doing laundry, listening, managing appointments, supporting people with disabilities. Sounds ordinary? It is! But without care work, nothing works. Whether it's daycare, nursing, social work or at home: this work keeps the economy running, but is often overlooked, poorly paid and often has miserable working conditions.

Currently, negotiations are in progress in the public sector. These are many professions that keep our daily lives going. For example, educators in public daycare centers or nurses in a public hospital.

We are fighting!

Most of the people working in these careers are women and queer people, and many are migrants. The demand for more pay? For more days off? Absolutely justified! Poor pay and working conditions are no coincidence - they are the result of a system that is not driven by what we need but by the logic of profit. We are fighting for a different society. This society must be feminist, otherwise it is the same! Care work must be recognized as a central duty of society - that applies not only to paid care work, but also to all the unpaid that each and every one of us undertakes. Capitalism profits from the work we do (un)paid. We don't want to continue to suffer for the profits of a wealthy few - we want a society in which there is room for a good life and in which care work is collectively organized.

We are on strike!
We are on strike!
We stand in solidarity with all those fighting for better compensation - and demand more: Let's stand together instead of fighting alone! Whether paid or unpaid, with or without a contract - we are united by the fact that our work remains unappreciated, even though without us nothing would function.

Overcrowded daycare centers, unaffordable rents, maladministration in nursing and healthcare - what are politicians doing? They are distracting us from the actual problems with right-wing propaganda and trying to turn us against each other. Politicians are making cutbacks in the social sector. At the same time, they are spending billions on military build-up and wars that cause suffering worldwide. We will not allow this any longer!

Enough is enough! We are forming an alliance! Together we will march on the streets for fair wages and fair working conditions. Together we fight for an end to patriarchal and capitalist oppression, against war and fascism. We are not fighting these battles alone, but together with women and queer people worldwide. This gives us power and courage: for a society in which there is time for a good life!
